Brajesh Pathak presents roadmap to make UP number one in every sector
2
Lucknow: Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak on Wednesday presented the 'health vision document' in the Assembly.
He outlined the govt's ambitious roadmap to make the state number one in every sector, particularly healthcare.
Pathak said the vision of 'Viksit Bharat 2047' goes beyond infrastructure such as buildings and roads.
It encompasses ensuring health, dignity, and equitable opportunities for every citizen. "Prime Minister Narendra Modi is advancing on the path of development guided by the mantra of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas'. Our priority is to provide quality healthcare to all without financial hardship," he told the House.
The document presented the govt's goals, achievements, and policy priorities for 2027, 2030, and 2047.
Pathak said the National Health Policy 2017, which focuses on affordable, quality healthcare for all, preventive care, and primary health services, forms the core of state policy.
Under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, each family receives annual coverage of up to Rs 5 lakh. Uttar Pradesh, Pathak said, emerged as a frontrunner in implementing the scheme, along with the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission, and eSanjeevani telemedicine services.
By 2027, the govt aims to provide treatment coverage to every family, achieve 100% e-KYC for eligible households under PM-JAY, distribute gold cards, integrate state-level fraud risk monitoring with helplines, and expand digitisation across the health sector. All Ayushman Arogya Mandirs will be equipped with biomedical lab networks, and public health laboratories will be strengthened. Greater use of telehealth services and expansion of medical education are also planned.
By 2030, targets include reducing maternal and infant mortality rates, improving disease control, and raising the quality of medical education.
So far, 5.34 crore Ayushman cards have been issued under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana and the Mukhyamantri Jan Arogya Yojana, benefiting 70.36 lakh patients with free treatment worth Rs 11,123 crore. The state has also established Ayushman Arogya Mandirs and launched special drives against communicable diseases.

169 MCD healthcare centres to be turned into Ayushman Arogya Mandirs
New Delhi: Municipal Corporation of Delhi is working on a plan to revamp 169 healthcare centres into Ayushman Arogya Mandirs (AAMs). To ensure that the corporation's poor financial situation does not hinder the opening of these centres, Delhi govt will provide Rs 25 lakh per centre. Additionally, Rs 2 lakh per centre will be allocated for furniture purchases and Rs 12 lakh annually for medicines, MCD officials said. Delhi govt aims to open 1,139 AAMs in Delhi and establish them at sites with basic infrastructure and other facilities in place. These centres aim to reduce pressure on hospitals, allowing people to receive timely treatment. "We referred our dispensaries, maternity and child welfare centres, and public health centres (PHCs) to be revamped as AAMs. Permissions have already been obtained to upgrade 51 sub-centres or dispensaries, 37 PHCs and 81 maternity and child welfare centres. While work has started at some sites, we are expecting 11 PHCs to open for the general public in the next 15-20 days as AAMs," said an official. A PHC caters to a population of 50,000 people, while a maternity and child welfare centre and a dispensary each cater to a population of around 10,000. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Best SIP Plans for NRIs in Spain – Get ₹2L Monthly Pension | Invest ₹18K PB Learn More Undo "We have also offered the school sites and community halls which are rarely utilised to be developed as such centres.

The primary condition for selecting a centre as an AAM is that the building must be permanent and have at least five rooms, a waiting area, lab facility, a doctor, nurse and medical attendants. No AAM will be established in a porta cabin to ensure the primary healthcare system is strengthened on a permanent basis. "At most centres, doctors have already been appointed. But at other places where there are no doctors, we have requested Delhi govt to make arrangements," said the official. The official further stated that these health centres would have at least 14 general diagnostic facilities and 150 specialised test facilities provided, and testing would be done through outsourced labs. The staff present will collect samples from patients as needed. These samples will be sent to outsourced labs for testing, and the reports will be provided to patients. The civic body operates eight major hospitals like Hindu Rao, Balak Ram and Swami Dayanand, along with 90 maternal and child welfare centres, 54 dispensaries, 16 maternity homes, 11 polyclinics, 31 primary healthcare centres and other units.
